I haven't had this in decades, but i remember cheeseburger macaroni was my #1 choice and lasagna 2nd

Is it good and does anyone still eat it?

They used to have a flavor called Potato Stroganoff that we liked, but I can't find it anymore.  (Not that I make it very often anyways)

They used to also have a flavor that was Oriental Beef and Rice or something of that nature, I used to make that and add in a can of LaChoy Chinese Vegetables.  It was really quite tasty.

  Beef is the only one I remember and currently have in the pantry...

  I'm going to try some other flavors...

Creamy Italian Tuna Helper

Beef Noodle.

Hamburger Helper is surprisingly good.  I never had it growing up - my mom was definitely old school, but I make it sometimes and I like it.  I made it for my dad a while back, and he went crazy over it.  It was funny - he couldn't get over how good it was!

None!!  I got sick once and it was the last thing I ate. 

My husband likes the Cheeseburger Macaroni.

:-\\  Ugh...I have the same problem with Prego spaghetti sauce and Arbys...I can never eat either of them again.

I remember that. They also had a variation of that, and it had peas and carrots in it. It was great. I think they discontinued that specific flavor in the early 90's.


My favorite is Cheeseburger Macaroni, and Beef Noodle is a close second.


Another great flavor they used to have was some sort of stroganoff that had an extra flavoring pack, and it was sour cream. You mixed that seasoning packet with some milk, and when the Hamburger Helper was done, you poured it over it. Yummy. Haven't seen that flavor in years.


Anyone else remember the generic brand called Panburger Partner? ;D

Cheeseburger Macaroni

I've never had it....but it sounds good reading about it.

I love Bacon Cheeseburger.

Anyone remember that scene in National Lampoon's Vacation?  Where Eddie says something like . . . "I don't see why they call it hamburger helper.  It taste pretty good by itself." ;D

Anybody care to try and explain what it is?

It's a box of noodles and a packet of seasoning.  You have to buy a pound of ground beef to add to the mix.  So you brown the meat and then add some water and or milk and the noodles and seasoning packet.  Cover and let it cook for 20 mins stirring occasionally. 

The cheeseburger macaroni flavor is kind of like if you mixed ground beef into your macaroni and cheese.

I thought this was as good of a place to start with my first post......
The "Potato Stroganoff" is still available, not all stores carry the entire line of Hamburger Helper products. (At one point there was over 30 different varieties)
My favorite flavor was the other one you mentioned, it was called "Rice Oriental". Unfortunately it was discontinued about a year ago. I've found that I can accomplish pretty much the same thing with hamburger, instant rice, and a packet of chow mein seasoning.

I acually liked Panburger Partner a lot better than the real stuff. Definately cheeseburger macaroni.  As of this week there is no more Panburger Partner at my grocery store   :(

I really like the newish Hamburger helper microwave.  You don't have to anything but add water and microwave 6 minutes.  It has beef (or something resembling beef) dehydrated in each packet.  Hubby can't usually eat it because it has MSG and he's rather sensitive to it's effects.  But it tastes just like the regular kind and is super easy. 

A guess Beef Pasta at this point. I used to love the Mexican Style Cheese flavor, but it was discontinued mysteriously in 2010. The taste was great. I want to properly learn how to cook Cheese Burger Macaroni since its the closest. One of my Aunts made it in the 90s and it was killer. Could never get it the same.

Romanoff, but I don't think its sold in the states anymore.
